After several failed attempts at creating a dual boot system, I am in inch from throwing in the towel and going write to a Live CD situation on my XP machine.
My question is simple. How do I save things like favorites for Mozill and programs etc. If I am booting from a Live CD everytime.
It seems to me that I'll have to start from scratch everytime. I know I must be wrong. Please help me wrap my head around it...
Here's the answer from the Knoppix FAQ:
Go to the K-menu > KNOPPIX > Configuration and choose "save config", you can save to floppy or to an already existing partition on the harddrive. (on a windows partition is fine)
To restore it, at the "boot:" prompt type in "knoppix myconfig=scan", and it should find and restore your saved settings at boot time.
you can find this specific FAQ at:

EDIT: I find a small USB key works very well, since you can carry it around and have the same settings on different machines
thanks for the quick and easy response
AMEM to that thanks!!!
What's Knoppix? Can I use it in Red Hat Linux 9.0 Publisher Edition (GNOME), so I can run Fedora Core 4? I am desperate.
Knoppix is an OS that will run from the cd.
From the cd, you have access to tools like qtparted.
